No, I don't think that's neccessarily true :-)  The format is pretty
much a dump of the C++ data structure, so it's a pain to read if you
have a different structure.

Not to nitpick or anything, but the Plugin Interface is actually pure
C. You don't have to use C++ or MFC.
I just provide a C++ wrapper and MFC support so that it's a lot less
tedious and easier to write.
